Leopard print Pendrell blouse

As I wrote in my post, this blouse pattern from Sewaholic is extremely popular, so I don't think I need to write a detailed review on it. But I really, really loved working with it, which seems to be a recurrent feeling with Tasia's pattern. Right now I'd love to try the Alma blouse and the Thurlow trousers, but I'm saving up for other upcoming patterns.

I made view C and drafted a peter pan collar that stops at the shoulder seams, as I didn't want the bulk of a collar in the back. It is a size 6 with no alterations, just 10 cm shorter (the original lenght is a bit crazy, imo).

I used a leopard print silk georgette, which wasn't that difficult to work with and feels so luxurious against the skin.

I really like this blouse! I styled it with trousers because, well, you never see me with trousers and I thought I was a nice change, but it looks really cute with skirts as well. I'm sure I'll wear it a lot this winter.

And while I deserve a pat on the back for sticking to my plans, I'm afraid I'm not going to be as good with the rest of them (except the Macaron). I cut fabrics for three new garments yesterday, and none of them were planned. Oh, well...

Love it, sassy but sweet! I've just finished my first Alma, it's such a cute little blouse. I've got Pendrell just need to make it for our Aussie summer which is just around the corner!And I've just ordered Banksia & Darling Ranges!

congrats on being on Sew Weekly! This blouse is divine. Not only is it leopard print but it's silk georgette. And you paired it so chicly. I like you in pants - platonicly speaking - and definitely think you should wear them more!
